Mount Wuyi in Fujian

Mount Wuyi is not only a mountain range with natural beauty but also a historical place with cultural importance. It has been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1999 for its cultural, scenic and biodiversity values.

Look at the first picture, you can see the serene beauty of the dramatic gorges of the Nine-Bend River with smooth rock cliffs and clear, deep water. Situated along this river are numerous temples and monasteries, which provide the setting for the development and spread of neo-Confucianism, a political philosophy which has been very influential in East Asia since the 11th century. There is also a protective area for the Remains of the Ancient Han Dynasty. It is a large administrative capital built by the Han dynasty rulers. As you can see in the third picture, its massive red walls enclose an archaeological site of great significance. This is a perfect destination for travelers to enjoy mountain climbing and feel the history and culture at the same time.
